He was an old school kind of guy that I think we need more of. If you have kids, you’re a father for the rest of your life. He taught that no matter what, you always take care of your kids, your family. That was one of the greatest life lessons he ever gave me… He was just an amazing individual. He really changed my perspective on life and how words have meaning. He looks at me and says, “Old enough to talk to me like a man, old enough to get your ass beat like one.” I just got up, walked away and never said another word about it. When I was 16 years old, I tried to act all tough and told him “F you” to him. But despite my epilepsy, he never treated me differently. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult with my medical expenses.

Obtaining one today is definitely up there for me.įox News: You sadly lost your father, The Old Man, in 2018. His books were ultimately wiped out from existence. He was ultimately burned at the stake after being sentenced to death by the Roman Inquisition for his heretical ideas - everyone should learn about him at one point in their lives. He was absolutely one of the craziest figures in history. Harrison: I collect books and one thing I would love to get are some books by Giordano Bruno, the martyr of science. So you’re not going to rip me off.įox News: What's the one thing would you love to come across but you haven’t seen quite yet? But in reality, if you look at the history, serving dishes on silverware in the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s was acceptable. They come in with grandma’s silverware and they try to explain it to me that the silverware was incredibly expensive, so, therefore, they should get a certain amount for it. It’s a really bad diamond.” They get really mad at me. And then I have to tell them, “Grandpa was cheap.

Sellers are often brought back in after items are sold or not, and are filmed with one of the stars of the show taking a look at the item before making an offer.Įven with the staged deals and phony drama that seems to have been created for an increase in ratings, the show still does manage to bring in some very interesting items from sellers who normally walk away happy. The items that we see really do come into the shop and the sellers are real but that is where reality ends and production begins. The show features three generations of Harrison's (Grandfather, Father, and Son,) running their pawn shop and interacting with random guests carrying some unique and valuable items.Īlthough it looks authentic, and the negotiating seems real at times, it is staged and rehearsed.
